AxesGrid and add_axes

Community matplotlib-users

While you cannot add an axes to another axes, you can set position of
an axes "relative to" another axes. The threads below show simple
approaches.

This may or may not work on your cases depending the complexity of your plots.
Of course, if you need more control on the axes position, you may
implement your own axes_locator.

That 'spacial plot' is just several simple plots placed in the 'parent
figure'. So my class just create this bunch of plots as an axes and place them
somewhere.
This is the 'plotting core' of my class:

# plot 1
rect1 = [a, b, c, d] # where a, b, c and d values depends on the data, ...
self.plot1 = self.figure.add_axes(rect1)
self.plot1.plot(data1)

and the same (similar) for rest of plots (with differnt a,b,c,d values, of
course).

So since it is not possible to place axes to another axes there is probably no
solution for my problem.
What can I probably do is create grid of figures (if figures are realy only
element where can axes be placed), but this seems not possible, or rewrite my
class using different elements for subplots instead of axes, if there is
anything...

Well, thanks for clarifying this, I should definitely read more documentation
before I start code so complex apps.
But Thank You anyway

A figure is a figure and an axes is an axes. They are NOT
interchangeable. The AxesGrid essentially creates a list of axes.

As you may already know, only figure class has an add_axes method. And
axes can only be added to a figure. You cannot add an axes to another
axes.

Since I have no idea what kind of special plot your code creates, I
can only suggest you to revise your code to take an axes instance as
an input, not a figure instance.

If you can, please post a simple, but complete code that demonstrate
your problem.
